Moving Forward –<br />

Making<br />

Progress<br />

As we look forward<br />

to the first day of<br />

school on Monday,<br />

August 13, there is<br />

much to be excited<br />

about in the Saint<br />

Dr. Kelvin Adams<br />

<strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />

District. Thanks to the hard work of our<br />

students <strong>and</strong> teachers, the District is<br />

making progress <strong>and</strong> on the right track.<br />

Last year, SLPS earned six accreditation<br />

points for the first time ever during the<br />

Missouri <strong>School</strong> Improvement Program IV<br />

Cycle. To top that off, 16 District schools<br />

earned Adequate Yearly Progress as<br />

recognized by the No Child Left Behind<br />

Act. We look forward to even greater<br />

academic improvement this year.<br />

Moving forward, this year all District<br />

3 rd grade students will participate in the<br />

iPad initiative. Our 3 rd grade teachers<br />

are being provided with additional<br />

professional development to help our<br />

students use iPads in the classroom as<br />

additional learning aids. The District is<br />

also piloting the iPad initiative with<br />

selected 4 th grade students this year.<br />

We added 37 additional early<br />

childhood classrooms during the past<br />

school year to open up preschool<br />

opportunities for more than 700 additional<br />

children in <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> City. Our commitment<br />

to providing the youngest children in<br />

our community with access to high-quality<br />

preschool classrooms taught by certified<br />

teachers continues this year. We are<br />

proud to offer our full-day preschool<br />

classrooms on a tuition-free basis for<br />

<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> City residents.<br />

The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> District is<br />

joining other districts nation-wide in<br />

embracing the Common Core <strong>St</strong><strong>and</strong>ards<br />

for mathematics <strong>and</strong> language arts. These<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ards will improve teaching <strong>and</strong><br />

learning to ensure that all children will<br />

graduate high school with the skills they<br />

need to be successful. Parent guides to<br />

these st<strong>and</strong>ards are being developed for<br />

each grade level <strong>and</strong> will be available on<br />

the District website at www.slps.org under<br />

the Parents & <strong>St</strong>udents tab.<br />

During the summer months the District<br />

has also continued moving forward with<br />

our Proposition S facility improvements<br />

<strong>and</strong> upgrades. Thanks to the generosity of<br />

<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> City voters, the District is in the<br />

process of making more than $150 Million<br />

in improvements to our school buildings.<br />

Our students will enjoy new state-of-theart<br />

science labs <strong>and</strong> cafeterias, upgraded<br />

technology <strong>and</strong> added security features,<br />

as well as improved athletic facilities.<br />

The summer was an exciting time for<br />

more than 5,400 students who attended<br />

the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong>s summer<br />

school program. During the month of<br />

June, children in preschool – 12 th grade<br />

participated in project based learning,<br />

enrichment programs, credit recovery<br />

programs <strong>and</strong> transition programs,<br />

all offered to help our students become<br />

better prepared for the upcoming<br />

school year. As the final bell rang for<br />

summer school, more than 1,600 students<br />

were recognized for achieving perfect<br />

attendance for the entire summer<br />

school schedule.<br />

District Names the <strong>2012</strong><br />

SLPS Teacher of the Year<br />

Ms. Julie Beede, a Music Specialist at Dewey International <strong>St</strong>udies Elementary<br />

<strong>School</strong>, was named the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> District’s <strong>2012</strong> Teacher of the Year.<br />

SLPS Superintendent Dr. Kelvin R. Adams made the announcement during the school’s<br />

morning assembly, which was attended by all Dewey students <strong>and</strong> staff members.<br />

“It was a wonderful surprise to receive this award in<br />

front of my Dewey family! Teachers work very hard on<br />

behalf of their students <strong>and</strong> their schools. I am grateful<br />

for the recognition. As SLPS Teacher of the Year, I am<br />

pleased that music, <strong>and</strong> those who teach it, are valued<br />

by the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong>s,” said Beede.<br />

An educator with the District since 2000, Ms. Beede<br />

believes that music <strong>and</strong> the arts embody the purest form<br />

of human expression <strong>and</strong> enhances underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong><br />

achievement in the other academic areas. After joining<br />

Dewey International <strong>St</strong>udies Elementary <strong>School</strong> in 2010,<br />

she promptly began to restore the school’s stage so that her<br />

students could have a venue to display their developing<br />

music skills as well as having the opportunity to<br />

experience live performances by accomplished musicians.<br />

In addition, Ms. Beede renovated the school’s Keyboard<br />

Lab, <strong>and</strong> taught her students to play recorders, keyboards<br />

<strong>and</strong> Orff instruments, showcasing her students’ knowledge<br />

<strong>and</strong> talents at school concerts <strong>and</strong> mini-musicals.<br />

Dr. Zitta, the principal at Dewey who nominated<br />

Beede for the 2011 SLPS Elementary Music Teacher<br />

of the Year award, which in turn made her an eligible<br />

c<strong>and</strong>idate for the District’s Teacher of the Year award,<br />

stated, “She has created an attractive <strong>and</strong> print-rich<br />

learning environment. Communication Arts are supported<br />

in her music class with journal <strong>and</strong> homework<br />

assignments. MAP – formatted question strips are visible<br />

along with student work <strong>and</strong> the beginnings of a word<br />

wall, <strong>and</strong> she used technology on a supportive <strong>and</strong><br />

transformative level in her classes on a daily basis.”<br />

As the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> District’s <strong>2012</strong><br />

Teacher of the Year, Ms. Beede is now eligible to<br />

compete for the Missouri Teacher of the Year honor,<br />

to be chosen at a later date.<br />

“Ms. Beede believes that music <strong>and</strong> the arts embody the purest<br />

form of human expression <strong>and</strong> enhances underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong><br />

achievement in the other academic areas.”<br />

or are wards of the state, <strong>and</strong> children<br />

with disabilities attending private schools<br />

disability. This includes children attending<br />

private schools, including non-residents if<br />

attending private schools within the agency’s<br />

jurisdiction, highly mobile children, such as<br />

migrant <strong>and</strong> homeless children, <strong>and</strong> children<br />

who are suspected of having a disability <strong>and</strong><br />

they are advancing from grade to grade.<br />

Identification of children with disabilities<br />

<strong>and</strong> programming for such children will<br />

be implemented after a determination of<br />

eligibility. The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> District<br />

assures that it will provide a free, appropriate<br />

public education (FAPE) to all eligible children<br />

with disabilities between the ages of 3 <strong>and</strong> 21<br />

under its jurisdiction either locally or through<br />

contractual arrangements in accordance<br />

with RSMo [162.675(2)(3)] <strong>and</strong> the Individuals<br />

with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).<br />

EARLY INTERVENTION<br />

The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> District<br />

intervention system (First <strong>St</strong>eps) for infants<br />

<strong>and</strong> toddlers suspected of having a disability.<br />

CONFIDENTIALITY<br />

The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> District assures<br />

that personally identifiable information<br />

collected, used, or maintained by the<br />

agency for the purposes of identification,<br />

evaluation, placement or provision of FAPE<br />

of children with disabilities may be inspected<br />

<strong>and</strong>/or reviewed by their parents. Parents<br />

may request amendment to the educational<br />

record if the parent believes the record is<br />

inaccurate, misleading, or violates the privacy<br />

or other rights of their child. Parents may<br />

register a complaint with the U.S. Department<br />

of Education or the Missouri Department<br />

of Elementary <strong>and</strong> Secondary Education<br />

(DESE) if they feel the agency is in violation<br />

of the Family Educational Rights <strong>and</strong><br />

Privacy Act (FERPA).<br />

The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> District has<br />

adopted the Missouri Local Compliance Plan<br />

PETTUS FOUNDATION<br />

“We enthusiastically support this important program that recognizes the outst<strong>and</strong>ing achievements<br />

of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> teachers <strong>and</strong> principals <strong>and</strong> provides us with the opportunity<br />

to share their successful philosophies <strong>and</strong> best practices which help so many students succeed.”<br />

– CHRIS LEE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ST. LOUIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOUNDATION<br />

<br />

Pettus Foundation Awards For Excellence<br />

In December 2007, the Pettus Foundation pledged a generous three-year $330,000 grant to the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong>s<br />

Foundation to support a program that honors <strong>and</strong> recognizes outst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> (SLPS) principals<br />

<strong>and</strong> teachers for their accomplishments in schools <strong>and</strong> classrooms. The Awards of Excellence program recognizes<br />

teachers who demonstrate excellence in teaching by inspiring all students to achieve <strong>and</strong> who have the respect <strong>and</strong> admiration<br />

of their students, parents <strong>and</strong> colleagues. They must also have an active role in creating a positive culture in their school.<br />

Outst<strong>and</strong>ing SLPS principals who inspire staff <strong>and</strong> students to achieve <strong>and</strong> who have the respect <strong>and</strong> admiration of their<br />

teachers, staff, students, parents <strong>and</strong> colleagues are also recognized. The goal of the program is to honor <strong>and</strong> promote the<br />

work <strong>and</strong> educational strategies that are succeeding <strong>and</strong> inspire others to replicate that success. Every teacher <strong>and</strong> principal<br />

in the district is eligible to be nominated for the award.<br />

A panel of 36 judges consisting of retired <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong><br />

<strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> principals <strong>and</strong> teachers conducted a<br />

thorough selection process by reviewing the nomination<br />

packets <strong>and</strong> selecting teachers <strong>and</strong> principals whom<br />

the judges observed firsth<strong>and</strong> in their respective<br />

schools. The judges selected finalists for interviews<br />

<strong>and</strong> used a point system to determine the winners.<br />

One teacher, judged as the most outst<strong>and</strong>ing, is<br />

selected from each SLPS elementary, middle, <strong>and</strong><br />

high school <strong>and</strong> awarded a $1,000 cash prize. Eight<br />

principals judged as the most outst<strong>and</strong>ing are also<br />

awarded $1,000 each. In addition to the cash prize,<br />

the winning teachers <strong>and</strong> principals receive a plaque<br />

to be prominently displayed in their school <strong>and</strong> a<br />

desktop award for their office or classroom. Each<br />

non-winning semifinalist is presented with a<br />

Certificate of Excellence.<br />

For the 2011– <strong>2012</strong> school year, seven principals<br />

<strong>and</strong> 76 teachers received the Awards of Excellence <strong>and</strong><br />

the $1,000 cash prize.<br />

Winning principals were honored with their awards<br />

in the presence of their peers at the SLPS year-end<br />

principals’ meeting in May. Teacher awards were<br />

presented during special recognition programs <strong>and</strong><br />

award ceremonies at their schools. The Pettus Awards<br />

of Excellence for 2011– <strong>2012</strong> will be announced<br />

publicly in August.<br />

“In the past five years, nearly 400 <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong><br />

<strong>School</strong>s teachers <strong>and</strong> principals have been honored<br />

with the Pettus Awards of Excellence. Many of these<br />

outst<strong>and</strong>ing educators are still with the District, working<br />

hard every day to help our students succeed. We<br />

are grateful that the Pettus Awards program provides<br />

us with an opportunity to recognize their important<br />

contributions,” said Chris Lee, Executive Director of<br />

PETTUS FOUNDATION<br />

Philosophies<br />

“<br />

Commitment can mean many different things. It can be an amount of time,<br />

a sacrifice of yourself for others, or even improving one’s own abilities. I believe that an effective<br />

administrator is one that shows true commitment to its staff, students <strong>and</strong> district. True commitment<br />

attracts <strong>and</strong> inspires people. My commitment is seen through my vision for our school,<br />

the plans to carry out the vision, <strong>and</strong> the time I am willing to spend to see the vision through.<br />

I am committed to helping others set <strong>and</strong> achieve their goals, improving my own abilities <strong>and</strong><br />

providing an instructional program conducive to personal <strong>and</strong> academic success of our students.<br />

James Harris<br />

Principal, Yeatman-Liddell Preparatory<br />

Since the beginning of dawn, educators have been saying, “All children<br />

can learn.” In my quest for excellence, this will become a reality.<br />

One of the many acquired traits from having served as a law<br />

enforcer has been the ability to focus on the goals <strong>and</strong> missions with<br />

follow-through to successful completions. Being a product of the<br />

<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong>s, it has become my strong belief that all<br />

students should be afforded the opportunity of achieving academic<br />

success – from whence forth comes the fulfillment of their ultimate<br />

goals beyond secondary education.<br />

As an educator, I staunchly support the endeavors of this school<br />

system as we forge ahead to make a difference in the lives of our<br />

students. The myriad teaching <strong>and</strong> administrative experiences, along<br />

with the ongoing participation in numerous <strong>and</strong> varied support<br />

mechanisms, has allowed me to gain competence; <strong>and</strong> has given<br />

me leverage to accomplish my objectives.<br />

These objectives are accomplished in several ways. From day<br />

one, it is imperative that your staff know your expectations. Using<br />

ISLIC st<strong>and</strong>ards as a guide to achieving student achievement are<br />

tantamount to a “how to fix it” manual.<br />

You have to be able to articulate a vision of high st<strong>and</strong>ards within<br />

the school community. The expected behaviors <strong>and</strong> goals must be<br />

modeled <strong>and</strong> demonstrated to all stakeholders. The role of leader in<br />

communicating the vision is one of high priest. You have to be able<br />

to define, strengthen, <strong>and</strong> articulate enduring values, beliefs <strong>and</strong><br />

cultural str<strong>and</strong>s that give your school its identity. The climate of the<br />

school should promote constant improvement.<br />

David Marler<br />

Fanning Middle <strong>School</strong><br />

Every teacher will say that they care for <strong>and</strong> nurture mathematics<br />

learning within their classroom. The question becomes, what<br />

makes my classroom st<strong>and</strong> out amongst those. I would have to say<br />

that it is my dedication to making mathematics real for them.<br />

For the past several years, my students have brushed up on their<br />

math skills <strong>and</strong> explored algebra skills by my integration of fantasy<br />

football into the curriculum.<br />

Everything from adding <strong>and</strong> subtracting fractions to the<br />

distributive property, to rounding are tied into the fantasy football<br />

lessons. Every student starts to see how mathematics is tied to<br />

everything we do.<br />

My expectations for their achievement are matched but not<br />

exceeded by my expectations for their character. Each student has a<br />

goal for the class as well as a goal for themselves. Character plays a<br />

major role in my classroom management which then sets the stage<br />

for learning to take place. I like to think of myself as teaching the<br />

“whole” student <strong>and</strong> not just the part that will allow them to do<br />

well on a test. There are so many things that a kid will learn in my<br />

class that no test will ever be able to measure. They learn things<br />

like kindness, compassion <strong>and</strong> humility which helps them to be<br />

able to ask questions when they’re stuck or express themselves<br />

when they cannot always find the right words.<br />

Former students will come up to me <strong>and</strong> tell me that they are<br />

learning things that I’ve already taught them. They will come to me<br />

<strong>and</strong> tell me that they are in advanced courses because they had<br />

been in my class. I do know that because of me, this world is a little<br />

better place to live because of the students I’ve helped mold in <strong>and</strong><br />

outside of the classroom.<br />

Teaching allows me to turn information into a story in which the<br />

children can relate. This is an advantage because storytelling makes<br />

learning more fun. This method allows the students to interact not<br />

only when the story is over, but also while it is being told. <strong>St</strong>udents<br />

tend to become very bored when information is droned out, <strong>and</strong><br />

they are expected to absorb it while losing interest. Using story<br />

interaction allows me to help students better underst<strong>and</strong> any<br />

information given, <strong>and</strong> allows students the ability to create<br />

inferences with a higher level of accuracy.<br />

<strong>St</strong>udents today face many more issues than in the past. They need<br />

to feel as if their ideas matter <strong>and</strong> they want to know that someone is<br />

listening <strong>and</strong> cares. Interaction in the classroom awakens the mind<br />

<strong>and</strong> the students feel a sense of belonging. As teachers, we feel a<br />

sense of accomplishment when our students make the connection<br />

between past <strong>and</strong> present events. I feel accomplishment when I can<br />

help students look at all sides of an issue before they make decisions.<br />

My goal as a teacher is for students to challenge the many interpretations<br />

of the past <strong>and</strong> to support their findings with documented<br />

proof. No matter where you are in society, you need to be able to<br />

present your ideas clearly <strong>and</strong> persuasively. I stress effective writing<br />

by assigning periodic writing assignments <strong>and</strong> giving positive<br />

feedback to all students. Improvement in writing skills is expected<br />

<strong>and</strong> necessary for continued growth. I also stress creativity by<br />

assigning oral assignments with h<strong>and</strong>s-on techniques. This includes<br />

assignments ranging from signing the Preamble of the Constitution<br />

to creating advertisements for a mock business. All students should<br />

have the opportunity to learn <strong>and</strong> be excited about learning.<br />

Eric Langley<br />

Carr Lane VPA Middle <strong>School</strong><br />

The classroom environment we create determines our student’s<br />

educational outcomes. Below is a list of 10 common practices that<br />

are a part of my daily routine.<br />

1. Talk to the students. I have hall duty everyday <strong>and</strong> even<br />

though I only teach a few of the students on my floor, I still speak to<br />

them every period in the halls. Things like how are you doing?<br />

Having a nice day? I like your shoes. How hard is it to compliment a<br />

student? It’s not, so make it common practice in your daily routines<br />

<strong>and</strong> you will be surprised at the results (especially when you have<br />

to redirect them in the hallway).<br />

2. Set them up for success. Call on students when you know they<br />

know the answer. Don’t call on a student who wasn’t listening<br />

because you know they won’t know the answer. What good does<br />

that do? You will find a direct relationship between the level of success<br />

in class <strong>and</strong> the number of times a student participates. If you want<br />

your students to participate, set them up for success.<br />

3. Don’t put the students on the spot (especially in front of their<br />

peers). If students are in the back of the room talking, you don’t<br />

have to yell out their names <strong>and</strong> tell them to be quiet. Get eye contact<br />

with them <strong>and</strong> in a subtle fashion just shake your head no. Most of<br />

the other students won’t even recognize you doing this <strong>and</strong> you<br />

have just redirected your students without saying a word.<br />

4. Show praise. Giving verbal praise to your students in the<br />

classroom makes a huge difference. No matter how small the success<br />

let them know that they did an awesome job!<br />

5. Call home. Calling home <strong>and</strong> writing letters to parents/guardians<br />

when their child has had a GOOD day will go a long way.<br />

6. Laugh <strong>and</strong> have fun. There is nothing wrong with having fun<br />

while you are teaching. The educational process can be fun <strong>and</strong><br />

the more enjoyable it is for the students, the more they will want<br />

to participate.<br />

Dr. Nicole Conaway<br />

Principal, Mann Elementary <strong>School</strong><br />

I believe that we must educate the whole child <strong>and</strong> create a wraparound<br />

with home, school, <strong>and</strong> community. When we all work<br />

together, we make it happen for all children. At Mann, our motto is<br />

“Make it Happen… No Exceptions, No Excuses.” I have challenged<br />

everyone to define their “it.” What will they make happen this<br />

year? Parents, teachers, students, <strong>and</strong> I created our “it.”<br />

Additionally, we have three goals at Mann. We incorporate<br />

guided reading, Positive Behavior Systems (PBS), <strong>and</strong> Response<br />

to Intervention (RTI). Through guided reading, we meet students<br />

at their level. With PBS, we teach appropriate behaviors <strong>and</strong><br />

reinforce positive behaviors. Together, we set high expectations<br />

for all. Through RTI, we look at data to determine the needs as a<br />

team <strong>and</strong> deliver research based interventions for all students.<br />

We have a “power hour” throughout the day where students are<br />

delivered instruction in a small intensive group.<br />

We analyze data <strong>and</strong> have students keep track of their own<br />

data to set goals for learning. We have set up a system where<br />

no matter where you come from, you can reach the stars. We<br />

partner with the Little Bit Foundation, Urban Futures, Assistance<br />

League, Catholic Charities, <strong>and</strong> Springboard to provide students<br />

with the essentials in order for them to succeed in school. Once<br />

their basic needs have been met, we then reach <strong>and</strong> teach all<br />

children. The students really take ownership for their learning.<br />

As you can see, we look at the entire community of learners<br />

to create a wrap around to meet the needs of all children. We<br />

make it happen…no exceptions… no excuses!<br />

My philosophy of teaching developed from many years of teaching<br />

John Wright, Jr.<br />

experience in both regular <strong>and</strong> special education classrooms. My<br />

teaching style incorporates a diversity of teaching methods <strong>and</strong><br />

techniques. In my classroom, students are grouped according to<br />

their abilities <strong>and</strong> learning is broken down into smaller units to<br />

ultural Literacy<br />

It is my belief that education is not something that is limited to<br />

improve underst<strong>and</strong>ing. This helps students have a feeling of<br />

books alone. Education is something that should engage all of our success <strong>and</strong> builds their self-confidence <strong>and</strong> makes learning<br />

senses. In my classroom, I try to engage students in activities that<br />

ity for every child to reach their<br />

relevant. It’s important how skills are taught <strong>and</strong> feedback is<br />

are relevant to their interests. I encourage a lot of discussion to<br />

s their unique talents, interests <strong>and</strong><br />

provided as well as encouragement. <strong>St</strong>udents at all levels<br />

learn what those interests are then try to provide students with a<br />

act that they will have on the world<br />

on file in each school <strong>and</strong> in the central office where any<br />

interested party may review it.<br />

The Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA),<br />

implemented by President Obama in 2010, was created in<br />

order to improve child nutrition in response to the rise of<br />

childhood obesity <strong>and</strong> to provide new guidelines for the<br />

National <strong>School</strong> Lunch Program (NSLP). Section 205 of<br />

the HHFKA sets forth a federal m<strong>and</strong>ate requiring all<br />

participating schools in the NSLP to raise the price of a<br />

paid lunch in order to generate enough revenue to cover<br />

the costs of implementation of the Healthy Hunger-Free<br />

Kids Act 2010. In order, to be in compliance with this<br />

law, the Special Administration Board has approved a<br />

price increase of $.10 for all paid meals for the upcoming<br />

school year, <strong>2012</strong>-<strong>2013</strong>.<br />

The following meal prices are for the school year <strong>2012</strong>-<br />

<strong>2013</strong>. Breakfast is free of charge to all students; the new lunch<br />

prices are as follows: Elementary $1.10, Middle $1.20 <strong>and</strong><br />

Secondary $1.35. Reduced meal price is $.40 for lunch.<br />

“In accordance with Federal Law <strong>and</strong> U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. To file a<br />

complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Adjudication, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call toll free (866) 632-9992 (Voice). Individuals who are<br />

hearing impaired or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339; or (800) 845-6136 (Spanish). USDA is an equal opportunity provider <strong>and</strong> employer.”<br />

Under the leadership of its Board Chair Valerie Bell,<br />

<strong>and</strong> with a new business plan <strong>and</strong> energized <strong>and</strong> committed<br />

board of directors <strong>and</strong> staff, the Foundation looks to further<br />

strengthen its partnership with the district. It will<br />

collaborate even more closely with SLPS in the months<br />

ahead to advocate <strong>and</strong> raise funds for Dr. Adams’ top<br />

priorities of improving Early Childhood Education, College<br />

<strong>and</strong> Career Readiness, <strong>and</strong> <strong>St</strong>udent Health <strong>and</strong> Wellness.<br />

“As student performance continues to advance <strong>and</strong><br />

the district makes steady progress towards regaining its<br />

accreditation, we are excited about the prospect of working<br />

together so that the district will be successful in addressing<br />

its most critical priorities,” Ms. Bell explained. “We will<br />

be reaching out to the entire community to help support<br />

this important effort,” she said.<br />

Asbestos Management<br />

Plan Availability<br />

Asbestos containing building materials<br />

(ACBM) are present within various<br />

schools throughout the District. In<br />

accordance with the Federal Asbestos<br />

Hazard Emergency Response Act<br />

(AHERA), an accredited inspector <strong>and</strong><br />

management planner have completed<br />

a review of the locations, quantities<br />

<strong>and</strong> friability of the asbestos containing<br />

materials <strong>and</strong> have prepared an<br />

assessment <strong>and</strong> response action plan<br />

to reduce exposure to asbestos fibers.<br />

Copies of the asbestos program for<br />

all schools, which includes current<br />

inspection reports, are located in the<br />

Operations office located at 801 N.<br />

11th <strong>St</strong>reet, <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong>, Missouri.<br />

Please note that one copy is also<br />

required to be kept at the school itself.<br />

The plan is available to the public for<br />

inspection without cost or restriction<br />

within five working days after receiving<br />

a written request for inspection.<br />

Hours of availability <strong>and</strong> a<br />

copy of the form,<br />

“Request for<br />

Inspection<br />

of Asbestos<br />

Program,”<br />

will be<br />

provided<br />

upon request.<br />

Should a<br />

SLPS may charge<br />

LEAD-BASED<br />

PAINT HAZARD<br />

REDUCTION PROGRAM<br />

Since 2001, the District has implemented<br />

a Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction<br />

Program to reduce potential hazards<br />

associated with lead-based paint within<br />

our school buildings. City lead inspectors<br />

<strong>and</strong> numerous third party consulting<br />

firms have partnered with the District<br />

to provide testing, analysis <strong>and</strong><br />

assessment of potential lead-based<br />

paint hazards inside <strong>and</strong> outside our<br />

schools. In addition, the District has<br />

performed various lead abatement <strong>and</strong><br />

interim control projects over recent<br />

years in response to our testing data.<br />

Copies of all testing information <strong>and</strong><br />

abatement records are available upon<br />

request. We are also available to discuss<br />

current lead abatement <strong>and</strong> interim<br />

control projects being undertaken by<br />

the District. If you have further questions<br />

please contact the Office of Operations<br />

at 345-4669.<br />
